Raiden's Story: Ch. 3 Puppy Love
Disclaimer: Alright, I think you all know most of the stuff to the disclaimers by now so I just wanna say, I hope you enjoy the fic and R&R please. I apologize for taking so long with the fic but here are some new things to this fic that I've not done in my previous two fics. The asterisks at the bottom of a paragraph means that scene has ended and is moving onto the next one. Another thing, this fic has some language, one or two graphic situations(don't worry, nothing too graphic the board can't handle), and abit of violence in one or two parts. But for the sake of board purposes, it'll be edited enough that it isn't too bad. Btw, since this is quite abit longer of a fic than the previous two I've done....I will separate this one into two or three sections or acts instead of smushing it all together. Thank you, enjoy the fic.
Act One
It was a late summer evening out on Dearly Farm, several months went by since Raiden and Sonya first talked but they we're still good friends with each other after. Little did they know that their friendship would soon turn into a relationship. In the barn, we see a few familiar-looking female pups walking in; Sonya, Lita, Jewel, Two-Tone, and Cadpig. They all were coming back from another afternoon in the Bark Brigade because they all looked wore out even though they were still very talkative amongst themselves.
"Whew, that Pug... He can really tire ya out for a short dude.", said Sonya, wiping some sweat off her forehead.
"Yeah, I know what ya mean. He had us running everywhere, yelling in our faces. Who does he think he is??", retorted Lita, a bit irate with Pug.
"Hmm. Yeah, I know, but he is our superior. Like it or not.", Sonya sighed at their unfortunate situation.
"Hmm.", Lita thought about it for a bit. Then Jewel spoke up.
"Oh, speaking of which, out on the training course. I seen you, like, starin' at Raiden, but who can blame ya? He is, like, soo
hot. Ya know, in a rugged sort-of way. But hot nonetheless.", Jewel practically drooled.
"Oh, girls. He's so handsome, strong and hot. Not to mention he's quite caring and nice. And we have alot in common too. I mean we're good friends and all that, but sometimes, I kinda wish it was more than that." Sonya sighed dreamily.
"Ahh, young lo-ove. Isn't it something?", Cadpig said as she batted her eyelashes and sighed dreamily.
"Yeah," Sonya laughed a bit. "It sure is."
"Well, why don't ya just ask him out? I mean it's been a few months since you two first met and we all know that's quite a bit of time in dog years.", Two-Tone replied, checking the tv for something good to watch.
"Well, I really don't want to rush things with him. I mean, what if he doen't feel the same way about me?"
"You'll never know unless you try, right?"
"Right..." Sonya said, still somewhat unsure.
"So, just ask him. I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen?", Lita butted in.
Sonya then smiled. "Yeah, you girls are right. I think I'll ask him tomorrow. Thanks for the advice, I love ya.", she said as she hugged all of the girls.
"No prob. Same here.", all the girls say to her. They then stop hugging and go back to their orignial places.
"Say, Two-Tone, find anything good on tv?"
"Hmm, well, I did see a soap a few channels back... I dunno, let's just watch that. After all, I don't think I see anything else on besides reruns and the news.", says Two-Tone, switching back a few channels on the tv.
"Ok.", the girls say almost all at once as they sit down and watch tv.
****************************************************
Near Hiccup Hole; Raiden, Slayer, Tripod, Lucky, and Blaze were talking to each other as well. Just now coming back from a swim and were slowly making their way back to the farm.
"Man, that was a good swim, guys.", Raiden had said.
"Yup. Sure was. Definately needed a swim after Bark Brigade.", Slayer said.
"Yeah, I know what ya mean. Pug gettin' all up in our faces, yellin' at us like he's hot stuff or somethin'. I tell ya what, if I weren't in the Bark Brigade...I'd kick his butt all over the place the first time he talked like that to me. But, since were in Bark Brigade, we gotta do what he says or we'll get in trouble with mom an' dad."
"Hmm, true. But dude, Cadpig could kick his butt.", Lucky retorted with a sly grin.
"Yeah, even Cadpig could beat that twerp up." Raiden laughed. Everyone then laughed abit, not because it was rediculous but because it was true. They then stopped laughing for abit.
"Well, since we're on the subject of girls as we happened to mention Cadpig," Blaze said, "I seen ya lookin' at that Sonya-girl again. But I'm not surprised, she's cute. Maybe not cuter than my Cadpig but still very cute. And strong too. Man, I've never seen a girl that strong since the first time I've seen Cadpig PMS." He chuckled abit.
Raiden sighed. "Yeah, she's like an angel. A strong, beautiful angel. I mean we're friends and all but I kinda wish we we're actually going together. What I wouldn't give to have girl like that."
"Ooohh, Raiden's in love! Raiden's in love, Raiden's in love, Raiden's in ------", Lucky ranted until he recieved a playful but fairly hard punch in the arm by Raiden.
"Would ya shut up? Dang..."
"Sorry, jeez....", Lucky said as he rubbed his punched arm.
"Hmm, have you thought about... you know, asking her?", Tripod said.
"Askin' her what? Ask her out, ya mean? Ohh, I dunno.... What if she doesn't feel the same about me? Besides I don't really wanna rush her..."
"Ya just gotta have faith, man. That's how me an' Lita hit it off. We had faith in ourselves and each other, now look at us. We're together and happy.", Slayer reassured his best friend.
"That's right, same thing with me and Two-Tone. Sure, she was with Mooch and gang at first but even she turned over a new leaf, realized the error of her ways by being with Mooch and ended up with me. And, I am forever grateful for that.", Lucky grinned widely.
"Hm, maybe you guys are right. Ya know what? I'll ask her tomorrow, tomorrow morning exactly."
All the guys cheered.
"Besides, about time. You two've known each other for quite a while now.", Tripod remarked.
Raiden chuckled abit. "Yup, that's true. Thanks, guys."
"No prob.", Slayer said. Glad that his friend was finally going to ask out the dog of his dreams the next day.
A few minutes later, they came back to the farm. They then said to each other good night and left each other for a while to go to sleep. Everyone else was already in bed at this point.
****************************************************
Act Two
The next day, at Hiccup Hole.
Sonya was lying on the bank, next to the water. She was alone. Raiden sees her and decides that the time was right to go ask her out.
"Um, hey, Sonya...." he said, nervously walking up to her.
"Hm? Oh, hey, Raiden. How are ya?"
"I'm good. But, I have something I want to ask ya.", he shuffled his paws nervously.
"Uh, yeah. Actually, I do too....", Sonya gave a nervous laugh.
"Well, we've known each other for quite a while now and....."
"Will you go out with me?", they both blurted out at the same time.
"Hey, I was just going to ask that...", they start to say to each other. They then laugh.
"I'd love to", Sonya smiled. "Ohh, but what time?"
"Right here, tonight at seven good?", Raiden asked.
"It's a date.", she giggled before giving him a soft kiss on the cheek.
"Wow....", said Raiden, practically lit up like a Christmas tree and blushed like no tomorrow. "Uh, I mean, I'll cya then.... Later." Raiden then went off to his own affairs.
"Alright, cool. Later.", she gave a laugh before she closed her eyes and went back to laying down near the water for a bit longer.
****************************************************
Awhile later, Sonya hears a familiar voice. But not a good voice...
"Hey, Sonya....", the voice said.
"Huh?"
Sonya opened her eyes and found Mooch standing in front of her.
"Ah!", she yelled in surprise. "Mooch.... What are ya doin' here?", she then stood up growling. "What the hell do ya want?"
"Sonya, Sonya....", he shook his head. "C'mon, don't be like that. I just came by to see how ya were. Besides, who needs that loser, Raiden? I mean, you need a real dog. Like me." He raised and lowered his eye brows. "So, what'dya say? Join me and my gang, hmm?"
"Two-Tone told me alot about ya over the last few months, alot I didn't like. You disgust me. And another thing...I'll never join your stupid gang. Now, get outta here before I tear you to shreds...", she snarled angrily and disgusted, completely bearing her teeth at him.
"Heh. I don't think so. Boys.", he snapped his fingers. Wizzer and Dipstick came up from behind Sonya and held her down. Since they caught her totally by surprise, she couldn't fight back as easily.
"Well now, isn't this something....", Mooch chuckled evily.
"What the....? Hey, hey.... Lemme go! Dang it, lemme go!"
Mooch just grinned at her began to grab her, beginning to grope her rear...
Sonya thought to herself, "What's he gonna do to me? Oh, God.... Is it possible that.... He might hurt me or even kill me??" . So she did the next best thing she could do...
"Help! Someone! Please, help! HELP!!", she cried out desperately.
Raiden, who was lying down nearby, heard her cries. His eyes opened and his ears perked up before he got up on all fours. "Sonya? Oh, man.... Hold on, Sonya. I'm coming." He then rushed over to where Sonya and Mooch were.
"Shut up, cow!", he raised his paw as if to slap her.
"Hey, ugly! Get away from the girl....", Raiden said from the distance.
"Raiden!", Sonya cried out, giving a brief smile of hope as she was especially glad that he showed up.
"Grr... You punk, do ya have any idea who you're talking to?!"
"Yeah, I do...", Raiden walked over to face Mooch, getting right in his face. "Someone who's gonna get their ass kicked if they don't step away from a certain girl... Now, do it or I'll make ya wish you've never been born.", he snarled.
Mooch was slightly nervous because Raiden was just about his size and looked very angry. But he still persisted.
"Oh yeah?! Bring it on, wimp!" Mooch now diverted his attention to fight Raiden, ready to clobber him for interupting his work.
"Fine then, have it your way.... Don't say I didn't warn you.", Raiden said.
"Heh, you arrogant mutt... I'll ---urk!, Mooch said as he started to make the first move to hit Raiden.
But he had not succeeded as Raiden grabbed Mooch by the throat with one paw and begun choking him. He started to lift him up off the ground while doing so.
"You'll what, fleabag?", Raiden sneered.
Mooch was now choking and therefore could not form an audiable sentence although he managed to choke out, "Son-ya..... s-she's...... a..." He grinned fiendishly. "....bit--! Oof!", Mooch was then cut off by Raiden as he kneed him in the gut, hard and dropped him to the ground.
"Don't you ever, EVER, call her that again!", he said as a now deeply enraged Raiden as then picked him back up and decked him in the muzzle. Blood began to pour from Mooch's mouth.
While Mooch was distracted with Raiden, Sonya then felt a sudden burst of strength and broke free from Wizzer and Dipstick's grasp. She turned around to face her assailants, who were now cowering in fear at a deeply angered Sonya.
"Hey, morons!", Sonya then bashed their heads together, knocking them out. She cricked her neck. "Losers..." She then went over to check on Raiden.
"Oww!!", Mooch screamed, holding his bleeding muzzle. "You broke my mouth, you jerk! Now yer gonna pay!" He rushed at Raiden, but Raiden was too quick as he stuck out his foot and tripped Mooch.
"Ohh, too slow....", Raiden mocked.
Mooch panted and coughed heavily. "You...You just had to interrupt me, didn't ya?"
"Of course, you were about to hurt her.... And there was no way I was about to let that happen." He nodded over to Sonya.
Sonya nodded back before rushing over and kicked Mooch in the ribs. "You sick creep! How dare you?!"
"Ughh......", Mooch groaned in pain.
"Don't feel so good now, not since the tables have turned, do ya? Now, get outta here before we decide to finish you off...." Raiden stood in front of Mooch, cracking his knuckles. Sonya stood beside Raiden, gesturing to her handiwork and showing Mooch that she had incapacitated his cronies.
"You're gonna pay.... The both of you!", Mooch swore as he fled, wounded along with his pride.
"Yeah, whatever.... Idiot.", Raiden glanced back to Sonya. "Hey, you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. A little steamed but fine.", she sighed. "You know, it's a good thing you came when you did. I didn't know what he was gonna do...", she said as she smiled to her savior. "Thanks"
"Hey, no prob.", he smiled back as he wrapped an arm around her and they walked back to the barn just as the sun was beginning to set.
****************************************************
Later, back at the barn, the couple are resting and enjoying the sunset pouring into the barn when Drake comes up to them.
"Hmm? Oh, hey, Drake. 'Sup?", said Raiden.
"Raiden, Sonya.", he nods to them. "Nothing much, except I heard that you beat up Mooch earlier today. From what I heard, you did a pretty good number on him."
'Whoa, news gets around here fast....', thought Raiden. "Yeah, well, the creep was askin' for it. He was seriously messin' with Sonya, you know harassing her an' stuff. I think he might have wanted to hurt her too. So, I had to stop him."
"Hmm.", Sonya nodded to Drake in agreement with Raiden's statement.
Drake chuckled abit. "Hey, it's ok... I'm not here to judge you on that. Hell, I would probably do the same thing if it was Star he was after..."
"Yeah, speaking of Mooch. You think you could do us a favor and make sure nothing goes wrong on me an' Sonya's date tonight. I don't want Mooch crashing the party."
"Um, sure, I guess.... Where will this thing be held at?"
"It'll be at Hiccup Hole. On the bank. At 7:00 PM."
"Ok, sounds good. I'll be there to make sure Mooch doesn't ruin anything....."
"Alright. Thanks, Drake. I knew I could count on ya."
"Eh, don't mention it....", said Drake as he gave the couple a smile then walked off.
****************************************************
Act Three: The Date
It was almost 7:00 and Raiden was setting everything up for the date, he wanted it to be perfect. Well, at least as good as he could get it anyway. He had brought a picnic blanket, a half-eaten pizza still in the box, two cans of soda, and a stereo for the date, all of these items Raiden had aqquired from the Dearly's house. As well as a rose for Sonya. All this while the huge moon shone brightly over the farm, cutting through the darkness and illuminating the whole farm, especially around Hiccup Hole where the date was to take place. Crickets and frogs had chirped peacefully around the pond, creating a beautiful sound as the moon reflected on the water's surface.
"Ah, perfect.... Now all I need to do is wait for Sonya."
"Somebody say my name?", Sonya said as she appeared with a red bow on her head behind her ear, wearing red lipstick, and a bit of blue eyeshadow. She gave a smile over to Raiden as she walked over. "Hello, Raiden. Lovely evening, isn't it?"
"Wow, Sonya.... It sure is.", Raiden said completely floored as he saw her.
"Yeah, I wanted to make a good first impression on our date."
"Well, you certainly did... But then again, you're beautiful no matter what. Beautiful, just like this rose....", he then gives Sonya a stunningly beautiful rose.
"Aw, Raiden.... Thank you.", she smiled and hugged him.
"You're quite welcome.", he smiled back. "So, shall we?", as he gestured for them to sit.
"Oh, yes, of course.", Sonya smiled.
They sit down as Raiden opens the pizza box for her and hands her a soda.
"Thanks", as she takes a slice of pizza and her soda.
A while later, after they downed their refreshments and enjoyed the breathtaking scenery around them, Raiden gets up and turns on the stereo to the song 'Glory of Love' by Peter Cetera.
'Tonight it's very clear, as we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say,
I will always love you, I will never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you, I could never make it alone...'
"Oh, Raiden.... I love this song, how'd you know?"
"You told me, remember?", Raiden replied with a smirk.
"Oh, right. Hehe.", Sonya giggled.
"So... may I have this dance, milady?", Raiden asked.
"Yes, you may, good sir.", Sonya smiled as she answered.
Raiden holds out his paw for her and she takes it, standing up and slow dances with him.
'I am a man, who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever, knowing together that we did it all for the Glory of Love'
The song continues as they dance close. While off to the side somewhere, Mooch is hiding in the bushes with a bucket of pink dye, the same kind that turned Lucky pink the day that last year's Four-Legged Fall Ball took place. Mooch chuckled to himself.
"Oh, man.... This is gonna be great... Now they're really gonna get it!"
But little did he know, Drake was off in the distance, watching everything.
"Not if I can help it, Mooch.... I've made a promise to them and I'm gonna keep it...", he said to himself as he continued to watch.
As Raiden and Sonya were dancing, holding each other close.
"Raiden, I just want to say.... thanks for showing me a good time tonight, well thank you for everything really. Including coming into my life, I'd be lost without you. And I hope we have more times like this...." She looks into his eyes. "I love you, Raiden."
"I have to say, I'm a very lucky dog to have gotten to know you as well as I do. I'm glad that I met you, my angel. I love you too, Sonya...", he said, looking into her eyes as well. They then close their eyes and lean in for a kiss. Their lips soon touch as they passionately kissed one another.
"Now!", Mooch said as he swung the bucket back and was ready to splash the dye on the unwary couple.
"Oh, no you don't!", Drake said, running over and dropkicking Mooch in the face.
"Ow!", Mooch said before losing conciousness.
Raiden and Sonya keep kissing for a few more minutes before breaking their kiss and see Mooch laid out on the ground only a few feet away.
"Huh, Mooch? Meh, oh well..." Raiden says, before nuzzling Sonya. 'Thanks, Drake.'
"C'mon, lets go get some sleep now."
"Right.", says Sonya, nuzzling Raiden.
The two pick up the Dearly's stuff and head back home, walking closely together.
Drake nods happily at the leaving pair and leaves himself.
THE END
Epilouge
Weeks and months go by.... A doberman puppy, about the same size as Raiden named Marcus, is walking by and sees the farm.
"Ah, a farm....", he says as goes up to the entrance.
"Hmm, sounds like a nice place to get some rest for the night.... Besides, who knows, Raiden might be here... Heh, Raiden, that fool....Just you wait....", he laughs to himself, entering the farm grounds.
What does he want with Raiden? Will he find him and if so, what will happen when he does? Find this out and more in the next fic: Chapter 4 - Reunion of Two Rivals(which unfortunately, I've still not yet gotten around to....but I will, eventually... )
Disclaimer: Alright, I think you all know most of the stuff to the disclaimers by now so I just wanna say, I hope you enjoy the fic and R&R please. I apologize for taking so long with the fic but here are some new things to this fic that I've not done in my previous two fics.

Another thing, this fic has some language, one or two graphic situations(don't worry, nothing too graphic the board can't handle), and abit of violence in one or two parts. But for the sake of board purposes, it'll be edited enough that it isn't too bad. Btw, since this is quite abit longer of a fic than the previous two I've done....I will separate this one into two or three sections or acts instead of smushing it all together. Thank you, enjoy the fic.

"Help! Someone! Please, help! HELP!!", she cried out desperately.

"Shut up, cow!", he raised his paw as if to slap her.
"Hey, ugly! Get away from the girl....", Raiden said from the distance.

Mooch was now choking and therefore could not form an audiable sentence although he managed to choke out, "Son-ya..... s-she's...... a..." He grinned fiendishly. "....bit--! Oof!", Mooch was then cut off by Raiden as he kneed him in the gut, hard and dropped him to the ground.
"Don't you ever, EVER, call her that again!", he said as a now deeply enraged Raiden as then picked him back up and decked him in the muzzle. Blood began to pour from Mooch's mouth.
While Mooch was distracted with Raiden, Sonya then felt a sudden burst of strength and broke free from Wizzer and Dipstick's grasp. She turned around to face her assailants, who were now cowering in fear at a deeply angered Sonya.
"Hey, morons!", Sonya then bashed their heads together, knocking them out. She cricked her neck. "Losers..." She then went over to check on Raiden.
"Oww!!", Mooch screamed, holding his bleeding muzzle. "You broke my mouth, you jerk! Now yer gonna pay!" He rushed at Raiden, but Raiden was too quick as he stuck out his foot and tripped Mooch.
"Ohh, too slow....", Raiden mocked.
Mooch panted and coughed heavily. "You...You just had to interrupt me, didn't ya?"
"Of course, you were about to hurt her.... And there was no way I was about to let that happen." He nodded over to Sonya.
Sonya nodded back before rushing over and kicked Mooch in the ribs. "You sick creep! How dare you?!"
"Ughh......", Mooch groaned in pain.
"Don't feel so good now, not since the tables have turned, do ya? Now, get outta here before we decide to finish you off...." Raiden stood in front of Mooch, cracking his knuckles. Sonya stood beside Raiden, gesturing to her handiwork and showing Mooch that she had incapacitated his cronies.
"You're gonna pay.... The both of you!", Mooch swore as he fled, wounded along with his pride.
"Yeah, whatever.... Idiot.", Raiden glanced back to Sonya. "Hey, you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. A little steamed but fine.", she sighed. "You know, it's a good thing you came when you did. I didn't know what he was gonna do...", she said as she smiled to her savior. "Thanks"
"Hey, no prob.", he smiled back as he wrapped an arm around her and they walked back to the barn just as the sun was beginning to set.
****************************************************
Later, back at the barn, the couple are resting and enjoying the sunset pouring into the barn when Drake comes up to them.
"Hmm? Oh, hey, Drake. 'Sup?", said Raiden.
"Raiden, Sonya.", he nods to them. "Nothing much, except I heard that you beat up Mooch earlier today. From what I heard, you did a pretty good number on him."
'Whoa, news gets around here fast....', thought Raiden. "Yeah, well, the creep was askin' for it. He was seriously messin' with Sonya, you know harassing her an' stuff. I think he might have wanted to hurt her too. So, I had to stop him."
"Hmm.", Sonya nodded to Drake in agreement with Raiden's statement.
Drake chuckled abit. "Hey, it's ok... I'm not here to judge you on that. Hell, I would probably do the same thing if it was Star he was after..."
"Yeah, speaking of Mooch. You think you could do us a favor and make sure nothing goes wrong on me an' Sonya's date tonight. I don't want Mooch crashing the party."
"Um, sure, I guess.... Where will this thing be held at?"
"It'll be at Hiccup Hole. On the bank. At 7:00 PM."
"Ok, sounds good. I'll be there to make sure Mooch doesn't ruin anything....."
"Alright. Thanks, Drake. I knew I could count on ya."
"Eh, don't mention it....", said Drake as he gave the couple a smile then walked off.
****************************************************
Act Three: The Date
It was almost 7:00 and Raiden was setting everything up for the date, he wanted it to be perfect. Well, at least as good as he could get it anyway. He had brought a picnic blanket, a half-eaten pizza still in the box, two cans of soda, and a stereo for the date, all of these items Raiden had aqquired from the Dearly's house. As well as a rose for Sonya. All this while the huge moon shone brightly over the farm, cutting through the darkness and illuminating the whole farm, especially around Hiccup Hole where the date was to take place. Crickets and frogs had chirped peacefully around the pond, creating a beautiful sound as the moon reflected on the water's surface.
"Ah, perfect.... Now all I need to do is wait for Sonya."
"Somebody say my name?", Sonya said as she appeared with a red bow on her head behind her ear, wearing red lipstick, and a bit of blue eyeshadow. She gave a smile over to Raiden as she walked over. "Hello, Raiden. Lovely evening, isn't it?"
"Wow, Sonya.... It sure is.", Raiden said completely floored as he saw her.
"Yeah, I wanted to make a good first impression on our date."
"Well, you certainly did... But then again, you're beautiful no matter what. Beautiful, just like this rose....", he then gives Sonya a stunningly beautiful rose.
"Aw, Raiden.... Thank you.", she smiled and hugged him.
"You're quite welcome.", he smiled back. "So, shall we?", as he gestured for them to sit.
"Oh, yes, of course.", Sonya smiled.
They sit down as Raiden opens the pizza box for her and hands her a soda.
"Thanks", as she takes a slice of pizza and her soda.
A while later, after they downed their refreshments and enjoyed the breathtaking scenery around them, Raiden gets up and turns on the stereo to the song 'Glory of Love' by Peter Cetera.
'Tonight it's very clear, as we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say,
I will always love you, I will never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you, I could never make it alone...'
"Oh, Raiden.... I love this song, how'd you know?"
"You told me, remember?", Raiden replied with a smirk.
"Oh, right. Hehe.", Sonya giggled.
"So... may I have this dance, milady?", Raiden asked.
"Yes, you may, good sir.", Sonya smiled as she answered.
Raiden holds out his paw for her and she takes it, standing up and slow dances with him.
'I am a man, who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever, knowing together that we did it all for the Glory of Love'
The song continues as they dance close. While off to the side somewhere, Mooch is hiding in the bushes with a bucket of pink dye, the same kind that turned Lucky pink the day that last year's Four-Legged Fall Ball took place. Mooch chuckled to himself.
"Oh, man.... This is gonna be great... Now they're really gonna get it!"
But little did he know, Drake was off in the distance, watching everything.
"Not if I can help it, Mooch.... I've made a promise to them and I'm gonna keep it...", he said to himself as he continued to watch.
As Raiden and Sonya were dancing, holding each other close.
"Raiden, I just want to say.... thanks for showing me a good time tonight, well thank you for everything really. Including coming into my life, I'd be lost without you. And I hope we have more times like this...." She looks into his eyes. "I love you, Raiden."
"I have to say, I'm a very lucky dog to have gotten to know you as well as I do. I'm glad that I met you, my angel. I love you too, Sonya...", he said, looking into her eyes as well. They then close their eyes and lean in for a kiss. Their lips soon touch as they passionately kissed one another.
"Now!", Mooch said as he swung the bucket back and was ready to splash the dye on the unwary couple.
"Oh, no you don't!", Drake said, running over and dropkicking Mooch in the face.
"Ow!", Mooch said before losing conciousness.
Raiden and Sonya keep kissing for a few more minutes before breaking their kiss and see Mooch laid out on the ground only a few feet away.
"Huh, Mooch? Meh, oh well..." Raiden says, before nuzzling Sonya. 'Thanks, Drake.'
"C'mon, lets go get some sleep now."
"Right.", says Sonya, nuzzling Raiden.
The two pick up the Dearly's stuff and head back home, walking closely together.
Drake nods happily at the leaving pair and leaves himself.
THE END
Epilouge
Weeks and months go by.... A doberman puppy, about the same size as Raiden named Marcus, is walking by and sees the farm.
"Ah, a farm....", he says as goes up to the entrance.
"Hmm, sounds like a nice place to get some rest for the night.... Besides, who knows, Raiden might be here... Heh, Raiden, that fool....Just you wait....", he laughs to himself, entering the farm grounds.
What does he want with Raiden? Will he find him and if so, what will happen when he does? Find this out and more in the next fic: Chapter 4 - Reunion of Two Rivals(which unfortunately, I've still not yet gotten around to....but I will, eventually... )
